I have a Sam and a Quickbeam and have them set up quite differently, so they don't really overlap at all. I suppose you could make a single speed, stripped-down Sam, and do a 3x5 hack on a QB or SO and load it with luggage, but you'd be fighting the inherent nature of each bike. Riv seems too successful, sometimes, at making its bikes super versatile, so there is a lot more range overlap and cross-shopping between them.
I think it's also hard to appreciate the joys of a simple single until you've tried it. I know I sure didn't.
